October 2, 20187 yr As the OP has noted, I would like something more than just airport environment sounds. I'd like to see an intelligent environmental sound utility that uses the camera reference point to determine the sounds you hear The one sound I think is really missing for external views is the sound of the wind. There was a sound utility many years ago (early FSX) where you could here a breeze or the sound of strong wind while you were in external views wondering around the aircraft. It might sound crazy but this was incredibly immersive. But a sound utility should also be able to switch to other sounds like tweeting birds if you were at a rural or small airfield and even ocean waves if the camera reference point was on a shoreline. I think the Xplane sound utility does all of this if I recall correctly from seeing a Youtube video some time ago. I know there are many things to be improved, but sound immersion - other than aircraft, has always been very overlooked.

I know there are many things to be improved, but sound immersion - other than aircraft, has always been very overlooked. That's exactly what is missing. I have also asked this on the ORBX forum some time ago. I know, most of their airports have their own sound included in the afx file, but some were missing it. Maybe KJAC or KWYS ... If you are at such airports and you hear nearly nothing it gets a a ghosty unrealistic atmosphere. That for, and for all other reasons that have been listed here, an intelligent airport sound addon would be a big step. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
October 2, 20187 yr Author Yes indeed. Sounds in rural airports, if you're in a float plane, with the waves and birds. In urban airports not only the typical airport sounds, but planes, jets flying overhead, traffic sounds as well since many airports have road traffic nearby. Ryzen 7 5800x, 64gb, 7900XTX 24gb
